Unfortunately not - but it is uncommon to mix objects and function

These are redundant - they do the same thing.  (I'd have preferred if 
the ordering rules were strict - allowing only "const int" or "int 
const" - but at least people are usually consistent in their style.)

Yes - it is "p" that is const,  not the "*".

*p is of type "int * const" - thus you can use "*p" to access a 
pointer-to-int, but you can't use *p to change that pointer-to-int.

Fortunately, such types are rare.

No, it is not at all fair to say that.  It is fair to say that a 
different way of writing types might make it easier to understand - but 
that's a /long/ way from saying it is "a complete mess".  And you can't 
call it "error prone" unless you know that people regularly use such 
declarations, and often have bugs in their code as a result of doing so 
incorrectly.  I think that is an unrealistic claim.

I appreciate that it can be difficult to see exactly what that type 
means, unless you use such a construct regularly - but there is no 
benefit in wild exaggeration.  And I don't think /any/ alternative 
syntax would make it easy to understand what that type really is, what 
it can do and what it cannot do, or why you might want it.

You can write this in C++ :

	// This bit is only needed once
	template <typename T> using ptr = T *;

	// p is a pointer to a const pointer to an int
	ptr<const ptr<int>> p;


That's LTR syntax.  Sure, it also has < > parentheses, but that's a 
minor point since the ordering of the components is what apparently 
matters so much.


Or you can write :

	typedef int * p_int;
	const p_int * p;

Thus p is a pointer to a "const p_int", where a "p_int" is a pointer to 
an int.

These are different ways to write the same type, including one that is 
LTR, and the main hinder to understanding remains the same - what is the 
type for?

What do you mean "base types" ?  Do you mean that C lets you write

	const long int a;
	long const int a;
	const int long a;
	int const long a;
	long int const a;
	int long const a;

?

If that's your complaint, then I agree with that one - I would be 
happier if C had allowed only "const long int;" here.  But I think most 
programmers are consistent in the style they use (though some prefer 
"east const").

No, you haven't.

You have shown that /you/ claim to be confused by types with "const". 
Most C programmers, once they are used to the language, do not find it 
confusing in common and simple types.

You do not get to invent meaningless complicated types, claim that you 
don't understand them, and use that as evidence that C's declaration 
syntax is "a complete mess".

At best, all you can show is that for complex types, C's syntax can 
require more thought to write or understand than some alternative 
syntaxes might.  But we've all known that for decades.

Your points below are all true, but IMHO all very minor, and do not add 
up to anything much.  They might be enough to tip the balance when 
developing a new language where you are trying to decide whether your 
dereference operator should be prefix or postfix, but they are not 
enough to cause any concern in a language that has chosen prefix.

That doesn't matter in practice.

I don't see that as significant.

I do agree that the decay of expressions using array types into pointer 
types is a source of error in C code - though I do not think it is as 
bad as you do.  I would have been happier if arrays were value types and 
the expressions did not decay to pointer expressions without manual 
intervention (like taking the address of the first element).  In my C++ 
code, I make a lot of use of std::array<> types for that purpose - in my 
C code, it is not uncommon for me to have arrays wrapped in a struct.

But I just don't see pointer-to-array expressions to be common enough 
for the difference you describe to be important.

Far and away the most common - by orders of magnitude - are pointers to 
structs.  "p->m" looks fine to me, and I prefer it to "p*.m".  A pointer 
to a pointer to a struct is rare enough that it is a good thing for the 
syntax to stand out - with a postfix dereference, I'd probably still use 
parentheses and write "(p*)->m".

The C declaration syntax is "declaration follows use".  If "*" were a 
postfix operator, then the declaration of a pointer-to-int would become:

	int p*;

while the type of p would be "int *".  So you would still have an 
inconsistency there, unless you also changed the way C has its declarations.

It's still bad.  I don't think finding a way to make it easier to write 
bad code is a good idea.

So basically, the suggestion would change some very minor things - 
mostly in subjective ways - and not actually do anything for aspects of 
the language where there is more of a consensus that C is sub-optimal. 
And for this, you would want a fundamental change to one of the most 
used operators in all C code!

I don't see how you reach that conclusion from what I wrote.

It is, however, true that C was designed by a small number of people 
working closely together, rather than a large committee-based design 
process involving lots of people.

I have no insight into the culture at Bell Labs at the time, but that 
sounds extraordinarily unlikely.

Feel free to offer some constructive criticism some time, and we will 
see if it is dismissed.  Note that "constructive criticism" involves 
more than "It's C, and I hate everything about C because it is connected 
to *nix, and I hate everything about *nix because it is connected to C". 
  And even if you occasionally have a valid criticism about C, it is not 
"constructive" criticism because we did not design the language, and we 
do not dictate how it could be changed or how it is used.

The -> operator was added to C in 1972 !  It is not new - it has always 
been part of the language beyond its early prototype versions.
